you treat your bottle!

machine

ufill is a pre-startup inspired by the idea to promote the use of refillable bottles.
We want to offer you beverage machines with healthy and delicious drinks in public and company buildings.
Our
machines will clean your refillable bottle and offer you a wide choice of organic and
regional
syrup-based drinks with soda. You will even be able to choose the mix ratio of syrup and
water
yourself! On top of that, you can buy your own sustainable reusable bottle directly from the
machine. Or just use our machine with any kind of bottle you are carrying along. No matter
which
design.

Where will you get our drinks first?

We aim for starting at university buildings in Berlin. This
way all customers will be able to come by and taste a delicious sustainable drink.

Key Benefits

Why?

Drinks sold in plastic bottles are not just an environmental problem. They can
also become a social problem.

Just look at bottled water:

○ In the United States it is estimated that the production of the bottles alone requires 17 million
barrels of oil a year. (source: UNEP)

○ It takes 3 litres of water to produce one litre of bottled water. (source: UNEP)

○ The manufacture of every ton of PET produces around 3 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). Bottling water thus
created more than 2.5 million tons of CO2 in 2006. (source: Pacific Institute)

○ More energy is used and CO2 produced to move it by truck, train, ship, or air freight to the user.
